Man, up north here in NY state, it's been some kind of
serious cold, also.


Good grief! We're just not used to it being so cold for
so long here in "The South". Our poor cousins down Florida
way are really having a hard time with farms for tropical
plants and animals. Conservation groups are picking up sea
turtles that wash up on the beach because they are paralyzed
by the cold. The unfortunate turtles are helpless and are
brought inside where it's warm so they can recover. The folks
who raise tropical fish have or are afraid of losing their
stock. Of course freezing weather is always bad for citrus
crops. Darn you Global Warming and you climate huggers.

There is some good news. The Cottonmouth Water Moccasin being cold
blooded is less likely to bite you! The Black Bass (large mouth) are
the same. You have to hit them in the head, just to get a bite on the
fishing lure. BTDT in both instances.

Expect the prices for the gladiolus flowers to go way up.

News said Yankees were still having beach weddings, though.
